In his teaching Yevgeny likes to stimulate an interest in music in young students. He is a very efficient teacher and is very good at helping students develop answers to the technical challenges of playing the piano. Yevgeny pays particular attention to: rhythmic foundation, music interpretation, fingering solutions, posture, articulation, phrasing, practice habits as well as esthetics in more experienced students.

Yevgeny is very grateful to his parents and teachers for their part in his music education, and believes that helping children to appreciate music and the arts will lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. Therefore, parental help, encouragement and nurturing of the arts and building cultural awareness play a major role in his teaching philosophy.
